Day 29: Defiance: of Gender, of Expectations
Tumblr media
Heyya @desi-lgbt-fest! Kinda late again, but here is a prompt submission 😊
------‐--------‐-
You know, being an Indian girl, you got to meet certain expectations, like being quiet, wearing only feminine clothing, not use curse words, don't be loud and rowdy, and the list of nonsensical restrictions goes on.
I did have a lot of questions about such things as a kid, and I stood out quite a lot because I loved stuff that boys tended to enjoy, such as motor cycles, having short hair, wearing shorts, a good brawl, etc. (Still do, though!)
As I got older, I expressed my personal preferences to my parents and rebelled against them, like getting a masculine haircut, swearing (only when necessary, of course), and taking up Judo.
Through the years, my parents got used to me being me, mostly because they understood. For instance, my mom knows I get a little cranky if I don't get my hair trimmed at the barbers, especially during summertime.
Recently, my mom joined me in my jacket collection! So far, it has mostly been denim since I take up after my dad, but I got myself a lovely leather jacket straight out of the men's section because why the heck not.
Other than being masculine, there are times I tend to be feminine, such as wearing kurtis and hoping to wear the saree I once wore during my farewell but with freshly trimmed hair, a rather bold move that I hope to achieve someday.
Nowadays, I get a lot of heads turning towards my direction because I embraced myself by defying gender and societal expectations. And boy, does it feel so good.

That part..
“ "should i call jimin hyung" but then was like no why should i and ended the call. and repeated that again and then called him and then he was like "what are you doing right now? where are you? what are you talking about?" and when talking like this i usually get tearful so i was like "i don't know where i am" and he was like "what do you see around you" and i was like "it's okay i'll take a taxi" and then it started raining and when i got back to the dorm and he was waiting outside and i was crying. then we went to the rooftop and was talking. i told him i'm sorry and would do better and he was crying too and we hugged happily then went inside. my eyes were really swollen the next day! “
Is the best finale of a drama ever!!
Love him so much!
He’s been always a rebel, a pure soul one! 💜😎

I think I'm a little lost, what was bad about the tech??? horizon doesn't seem to be suffering from their new robot parts???
Well, there was something built into their robot prosthetics that was actively meant to manipulate those who had them. Typical company bullshit. Read this article.
horizon can be glad about their prosthetics all they want but how much of it is from this?
🐈‍⬛ re8elli0n8reak next article is about how the current heads have been working to get everybody's part replaced and also what exactly SPECTRA did. stop just looking at one article and leaving it there.

🦁 liongirlmane Follow Honestly, the situation over at Vandelay Island just shows how much of a bad idea companies running living spaces are. Revolving that much of life around the place who employs you is just a bad idea.
Credits for company items only? Can't move away if you wanted to start somewhere else? Bad. Read ANYTHING on company towns, and then imagine that. But Worse.

Weekend Update - 03/17/2024 (on 03/18/2024)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ This format will be a bit abbreviated this week. It’s been rough for me the last few week with work especially and life somewhat.
I think in sharing a small portion of what some of my days have looked like the last few months (mainly violent patients, disrobing patients, family members bringing drugs and other contraband into the hospital, a man arguing with security in a diaper) and still being expected to finish your shift and be ready to come back in a day or two, any of these single events might be a lot for some.
One silver lining, mama Nerdie has life advice: “Watch some Pedro and forget about old man balls.” Words I never thought I would hear her say but also words to live by. 🤣🤣🤣
For me they’ve become weekly. 😑 When I read it all together I realized it was a lot but it was a lot. Do I see a lot every week? I think I’m desensitized 😵‍💫 I’m kinda concerned but also it helps me function so…
Anyway, due to the above, my fic rec section will be shorter, what I put out this week is definitely shorter and the week of 03/24 and 03/31, there won’t be a weekend update from me as I am taking a well earned I think, vacation. 😎 Yay!
I should have my March Prompts scheduled through 3/31 and my Ezra series should continue through the end of March as well. I plan to continue Ezra, my fluffy Din series and Wedding Dieter series in April. 😘 Likely mid to late April as a heads up.
Thank you all so much for your support of my weekend updates. My usual format is fun to write because it’s what I imagine talking to one of you would be like if you wanted to pick my brain 🧠
Fanfiction recommendations 🥰
1. Ezra part two** from “A Baker’s Dozen” by @avastrasposts
2. His Living Fleshlight by @beskarandblasters (Din Djarin - F! Reader)
3. Plus size reader Masterlist by @ezrasbirdie
4. Mejor Sin Ti part one by @fhatbhabie (Javier Peña x plus size female reader featuring Joel Miller)
5. Que Manera de Despertar (Javier Peña x fat wife) by @ramblers-lets-get-ramblin
6. Watercolor by @magpiepills (Lucian Flores x female reader)
7. Mientes part two of Mejor Sin Ti by @fhatbhabie (Javier Peña x plus size reader featuring Joel Miller)
8. Summer nights, you and I by @katsheadinclouds (Lucian Flores x F plus’s size reader)
9. Couch, Interrupted by @charethcutestory02 (Frankie Morales x Benny Miller)
10. One Day at a Time by @rebel-held (Dieter Bravo x f reader)
I’m sad I didn’t get to more fics this week, there’s too many in my drafts folder warning to be read and reblogged.
What Nerdie did this week:
1. Made Our Journey Across the Star Ocean Masterlist
2. Part Three of The Lake Between Us
3. March Prompts days 10 - 16 (my top three: 11, 14 and 15) ☺️
4. Notes with Dieter
A doodle of one of the tattoos I want AU Din to have when he moves into the neighborhood: @alltheglitterandtheroar and @megamindsecretlair are to blame for letting me talk about Din way too much in sweatpants, special mention of @rhoorl for her former love 🫡
Tumblr media
Why did I write elbow? Truthfully I’m not sure, where else would his elbow be? 🤣🤣🤣
This is why I write and do not draw. 👀 I will leave it to @immarocketman and @morallyinept as they’re artists. 🧑‍🎨
Stay safe, stay hydrated and when in doubt, watch some Pedro 💕
Love Nerdie! See you in April ❤️

If you request dark topic stuff, please keep it brief and/or small. The Ghost Rebel doesn't really like writing things for this kind of stuff—not because they can't take it, but the Ghost Rebel finds it a little flat/bland for themselves.

Some requests will be deleted if I don't have motivation for the idea or I simply don't like it. Sorry in advance!
If you request something while my mailbox is closed, it will be ignored/deleted. You may have to resend it.
Don't rush the Ghost Rebel. If you want good quality, it'll take some time.
Use & Have Common Sense. I will not be stating all the rules on this post.

Sagau Genshin Impact stuff
Honkai: Star Rail stuff
Self-Aware/Sahsrau Honkai: Star Rail stuff
I will be open to a few simple Genshin x Reader and Honkai: Star Rail x Reader requests.

thanks for the tag in the "people you want to get to know better" tag thingie @mysticmoondancer ! here's my answers:
Last song: Black Beauty by Lana Del Rey (only very recently listened to ultra violence and I liked it! can't say I'm obsessed with the rest of her discog tho i apologize)
Favorite color: pink! its very pretty 2 me
Last movie/TV show: I promise I'm not always this predictable, but I was just watching Radio Rebel for my video script, and last night I was watching MBAV because I was getting screenshots 👀
Last thing I Googled: "simple interest formula" because I missed a day of math class and was struggling when studying for my final (math is hard >.<)
Sweet/Savory/Spicy: I'm gonna say spicy! I've been very addicted to spicy food this past few months. Specifically very salty spicy foods like chips and ramen so I guess it's a bit of both!
Current Obsession: it feels really lame to say Radio Rebel or MBAV so 😭 I'm gonna say the album Youngblood by 5sos. I hated! the album when it came out in 2018, but recently I've really grown to like it! I rlly am obsessed lol
im gonna tag the peeps i always tag (srry lol) @kalimarsii and @rbquartz and i cant remember if anakin was tagged in the last post so im gonna double tag u just in case 😎 @legoyuri

✨It’s Time for abnormal and Eccentric Questions with Julie✨do you believe in paranormal creatures? What do you think you were in a previous life? What is you least favorite color?
Of course I believe in paranormal creatures, I am one after all😎 jk lol. but yeah, I do believe in basically all paranormal stuff, including magic, ghosts, etc.
I think I also believe in reincarnation, or at least I think so. I don't know who I was in a previous life, but I'd like to find out who I really was if that were possible. I guess I was either a witch, a 70's rock star, a criminal, a pirate or a rebel lmao 💀
ORANGE! I fucking hate this color. Orange cats are an exception tho, I love them 🖤

People on that baby free spaces discourse are asking how breastfeeding is comparable to not wanting babies around.
It is directly comparable because people don't like the sight of a woman breastfeeding. She's just doing her job making sure her baby is fed and people feel the need to make aggressive remarks about it and separate those women.
Similarly a baby is going to cry no matter what. It is a biological fact. And I get why people could get uncomfortable but why do people have to be so aggressive about something inevitable and nobody's fault?
- Because Society is expecting of Me to Like Babies but sorry, I am Special 😎and a Rebel 😜so when all the preps think they're cute I think they're UgLy😵
- Ok?
- ... And they SMELL🫢 and they're ANNOYING😤 and they always throw TANTRUMS😡 (when I'm so calm and level-headed I must have been a delight as a child)
- Uh-huh...
- HEY there's no need to be so AGGRESSIVE like you can't FORCE ME to like those GOBLINS👺

6. What’s one fact about the universe of [insert fic] that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?
earlier I was thinking about the Rebels Swap fic I wrote, so I'm gonna pick that one 😎 something I think is cool that I didn't get a chance to mention in it is that the swaps don't just reach the Ghost crew - it's also an AU where Anakin is Fulcrum and Ahsoka is Lady Tano, among many other things >:) (I know you know that but shhhh)
18. If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it involve?
if I wrote a sequel to something . . . let's go with Rebels Swap again. hmm well the ending to that one isn't actually how I think the AU would end, so a sequel fic would probably focus on that (coughcoughKananlives) and maybe the events of the Ahsoka show? Which I guess would be the Anakin show?? XD
49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!
of course you'd ask this one XD currently working on the next Adoption Magnet AU fic and yes of course I'm up for sharing a couple lines
“Treasure hunt!” Omega said excitedly, springing up behind the boys and putting her arms around their shoulders. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen treasure before!” “You haven’t seen anything before,” Cal joked.  “Hey, it’s not her fault she was stuck on Kamino,” Kanan said. “Exactly,” Omega said, letting go of their shoulders. She waved her hands around in the air. “And I mean, who knew the galaxy was this big? And awesome?” “Everyone . . . except you?” offered Cal. “Hey!”

Intro post💫
Hi y’all, my name is El! Definitely not new to fandom (especially the star wars fandom) but new to tumblr. I’m also not new to Star Wars itself; I’ve been a fan since I was little when I watched the original trilogy for the first time. I got a crush on Han and Luke and I’ve been fixated ever since.
Come for the attractive cast, stay for the lore👉🏼😎👉🏼
I’m @/__anibanani from the bird hellsite in case my Bowzer pfp didn’t tip you off lol
For visibility’s sake here’s my Don’ts:
Minors DNI as I’m gonna be NSFW sometimes
Proshippers DNI (clonecest, rexsoka, obikin, etc)
Any form of willful ignorance or hatred. Educate yourself and rethink your life, love
✨✨back to the brain rot✨✨
So as you can see I like star wars. I like all of it pretty much but the copy/paste men have a special place in my heart. Some of my favorite things are~
Prequel era content (tcw, tbb, pt, totj)
Andor
Tbobf (give him a season 2 right neOW)
Kenobi show
Rebels (haven’t finished it but am enjoying it)
Can never decide which OT movie is my fav
Rogue One
Lego star wars game is cute but I haven’t collected everything yet😭
My favorite characters are:
Clones (don’t ask me who’s my favorite they all kinda live rent free in my brain)
Ghost crew
Luke skywalker
Asajj Ventress
Darth maul
Anakin/vader
Finn
Fennec shand (I just think she’s neat)
Garsa fwip (I also think she’s neat😌)
Aside from star wars I’m into a lot of other things too and am down to be moots from different fandoms! Other interests include:
Atla/tlok
What We Do in the Shadows
Our Flag Means Death
Good Omens
Succession
Fiona and Cake
sorta into the MCU
ITSV/ASTV
The Legends of Vox Machina
Anything dragon related
Anything vampire/werewolf related
Just fantasy in general
I have OCs! I have oodles and oodles of OCs that I might share at some point in the future. I also plan on writing some fan fiction so you have that to look forward to but don’t expect anything soon:)
If you made through to the end of this post then have some smooches and an iced latte💜

okay wait I finished reading the bone shard daughter and I’m so 😭😭 the first 200-ish pages were honestly a little slow and it wasn’t boring but I wasn’t dying to pick it up every day. After I hit the middle of the book I !!! It is so fast paced and exciting !!! Literally finished the rest of it in one go and went to bed at 3am.
I think my fave thing is how well the author sets the tone ! I feel like I could picture each scene perfectly and often the eerie weather/environment adds to the creepiness and tension of a scene. Also like, the slight body horror rlly just. Elevates quite a bit near the end 😭
Lin is literally my fave… my luv… I kind of predicted where the dead-mom plot was going and then I read the authors notes in the back where she talks abt how she likes writing mysteries where people can feel smart if they predict it like . 😭 truly. pandering 2 her audience. That audience is me. I did feel smart, for a second. Literally humbled.
Anyway also obsessed w worlds where homophobia doesn’t exist 😎 like yes talking abt queer struggles very important but also sometimes Like 😭 I live thru that every day already pls just let me have these wonderful pre-established queer couples. Reading abt colonization sucks but at least it’s not colonization AND homophobia u know 😺👍🏻
ALSO speaking of world building I think. The book handled topics like class struggle quite well. I’m really relieved that Ranami didn’t compromise any of her ideals and there was realistic tension btwn her and Phalue, as well as a clear progression from Phalue having a savior complex and thinking she understands oppression to her deconstructing how her privilege makes her both comfortable and blind sighted. 10/10. So lovely.
I wouldn’t say that like, abolition is a theme in this book book bc it’s very light but the goal of the rebel org in this world is to bring down the monarchy, and near the end of the novel Jovis mentions how simply switching out the people in power doesn’t fix the system as a whole. Which is like !! Then we have Lin, whose goal in the second book is literally trying her best to create a moral monarchy. V excited to see how this plot line goes 👁👁 I AM going to be like. A little upset if the monarchy remains at the end of the series specifically bc this book mentions how corruption of the system cannot be fixed by individuals and like ???? idk man 😭 very excited 2 read the second book <33
